How we perceive the economy and its purpose shapes how our economies are designed. This significantly impacts every aspect of our societies, from decision-making in business and government to how communities organise and what value we place on nature. Through this course, you will learn to appreciate the importance of the economy, how it influences society, and how its purpose must be redefined for a more equitable and sustainable future.
In Module 1, Oxford University economist Kate Raworth presents the Doughnut Economics model, a compass for human prosperity.
In Module 2, Former Harvard Business School professor David Korten discusses the concept of restructuring the economy for collective prosperity and ecological sustainability. You will gain deeper insight into the importance of tapping into knowledge from various domains, such as governance, business, education, and science, to drive transformative change.
In Module 3, Professor Jayati Ghosh from the University of Massachusetts Amherst examines alternative approaches to managing political economies worldwide. The module explains the need to redesign multilateral trade and financial systems to incorporate more inclusive decision-making and ultimately promote greater equity.
The “Economic Hit Man” himself, author John Perkins, features in Module 4 where he explains how the existing economic system, or “death economy,” primarily benefits the wealthy.
